Babymoon

Kerry and I have been brainstorming the last few months about taking a trip, just the two of us, before things get busy with a new baby. We needed a babymoon! After talking through all our options we decided to go to the Inn at Langley on Whidbey Island. It was a wonderful weekend!

We got in Friday night with one main expectation for the weekend... relaxation! My wonderful and fabulous husband had surprised me that morning with a new smoothie cup, a sweet card and a massage appointment! As my masseuse said: "A relaxed mom means a relaxed baby"! It was so nice to be pampered and to have some back tension melt away! We spent the days walking through the shops in town, watching movies and football, dreaming of and planning our future and taking naps. Perfection!

Great view to wake up to!

One highlight from the weekend for me was definitely the food. Having a gluten allergy really makes me appreciate when there is GOOD food and options for me to eat. The inn had a scrumptious breakfast each morning with a wide variety of fruits, eggs, AND gluten free granola and pastries. It was heavenly and a perfect way to start off our mornings. On Saturday we went out to a nice dinner at Prima, which I had heard was known for their gluten free foods. For the first time in 8 years I enjoyed eating calamari! Yum! I also had delicious prawns sautéed in honey, almonds and truffle oil. We topped off the evening with vanilla bean crème brulee!

We look forward to coming back next time for the chef’s dinner and many more vacations to come.
